Sunday School

September 17, 2017, Old Temple

Sundays, 11 a.m. to 12 noon

Classes are held for children in first grade through high school to give them a general knowledge of the universal truths of Vedanta, to acquaint then with the basic teachings of the major living religions, and to inspire reverence for the great religious teachers of the world.

After a simple worship and prayers from all faith traditions and a brief meditation, the children then divide according to age to study the world’s spiritual teachers and philosophies. The months of January to May are devoted primarily to rehearsals and other preparations for the Sunday school skit which is enacted during the Memorial Day Retreat at the Vedanta Retreat in Olema.
